Wren Baker is the 13th Athletic Director in West Virginia University history. It’s fair to say none of his predecessors have navigated the changes and challenges that he’s encountered.

In this episode, the “Guys” dig deep into the new world of college athletics and learn Baker’s plan for how WVU athletics will compete in a very new world.
